I asked a few friends what were their favorite go to Christian songs for the bad days. What songs made them cheer up or just jam out to when they’re having a bad day. I added a bunch I like as well. I could of listed more than 25, maybe I’ll make a part two. Either way, I love being able to just shut out the world, plug in my headphones and listen to music that seriously heals the soul, heart and mind. Songs that remind you that you’re not alone, that God is always there with you. That’s like the greatest feeling in the world. Sometimes you will have bad days, bad seasons, but remember you’re never alone. If you can’t find a friend to talk to, God is always there.
These are in no order, because honestly I couldn’t pick which I loved more than the other. So check it out.

Always by Kristian Stanfill
Oh my God, He will not delay, my refuge and strength always
I will not fear, His promise is true
My God will come through always always
I will need to check out some of those songs. (:
Great list! I love Chris Tomlin’s music!
I’ll have to look these up. I like the lyrics.
I don’t know these songs. I will have to check them out. Thanks for the list.
Oh wow. I haven’t heard any of these. Sounds like I’m missing something.
Thanks for posting these, I love Colton Dixon!
Always by Kristian Stanfill is one of my favorites. I like to listen to Matthew West for uplifting music.
I am hoping to see Matthew in concert in a few weeks. I’ve always loved his music.
I love the beautiful lyrics to these songs. They are so inspirational.
Great songs! My mom would love this list!
Thank you for the list! Here are words, chorus I think, that I cannot find the song title or artist (male), and it’s driving me crazy.
It would be so beautiful in your list here. Such a beautiful song. Can you help?
“What is this love, a treasure in time, created for me?
I thank you tonight, I lift up my voice, to thank you I’m free.
……now I’m justified, by the power of your name….”
Think it may start with
“Through the dark days…”
Thank you my friend, Judy
